The LEO+ (Learning Engagement Opportunity) Turbine™ is a savonius-based vertical axis turbine kit designed to be a low-cost solution providing students with a meaningful hands-on opportunity to experience wind energy. The LEO+ Turbine™ can be assembled in less than seven minutes with only light use of hot glue, and is set into motion when provided with a source of wind (such as a table fan, a windy day outdoors, or by blowing on it). The LEOplus Turbine has the ability to produce alternating current electrical output. This allows the kit to include added opportunities to experience induction, alternating current, Faraday’s law, Lenz’s law, and more.
ElectroCity is an online game that has been developed by Genesis Energy specifically for teachers and students between Years 7 and 9. Students build and manage their own virtual towns and cities, making important decisions and learning about energy generation, environmental management and many more practical and relevant concepts. There is plenty of real-world information built into the game and kids can put that information to good use in their own cities.
